- labster 2y agoHonestly a better question would be if there are any social norms that allow for a moral CEO to exist? Pretty much all of our norms are tilted towards producing immoral executives.
- lotsofpulp 2y agoUnless you are suggesting selling tobacco is as unethical as torturing and murdering people of different tribes for the sake of them being in different tribes, I do not see what your point could be. Should people simply never be able to sell or consume tobacco? Even if one’s consumption of tobacco does not negatively affect anyone else?

- adamtaylor_13 2y ago“If I don’t work for the Nazi’s they will kill my family, so I will work for the Nazi’s” There, I fixed your uninspired and incorrect anecdote. Big tobacco execs are quite literally killing absolutely no one. Last I checked they aren’t sticking cigarettes in anyone’s mouth. Personal responsibility for your own actions is unfortunately lacking in many discussions surrounding things like this.
- saagarjha 2y agoThat's because we have a society have generally decided that personal responsibility is not actually the appropriate lens with which to judge the sale of addictive products.
